Yoga Zone Stretching for Flexibility
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Not a full workout
Don’t buy this DVD if you are looking for a full workout. This doesn’t make you sweat or even get into any real yoga techniques. The DVD consists of two 10-minute segments, which touch very briefly on some basic stretching principles. None of the poses are even held long enough for you to get any real benefit from them, if this is your sole source for guidance. I use this DVD after doing other workout routines to complete my cooldown and stretching. I find most exercise videos do not provide adequate stretching at the end of the workout. So I throw this in and get a little extra stretching for my muscles. It helps to chill me out and cool me down after tough cardio or aerobics. That is all this DVD is good for. I don’t even see how it could improve your overall flexibility in the long run, given its short duration. But hey, doing something is better than doing nothing. And maybe these 10-minute bites will entice you into investing in a more in-depth DVD.
5 Stars Really great for beginners!
I know nothing about yoga and just finished this workout for the first time. The first session is great with simple instructions and nothing too difficult. It went by so quick that I finished both sessions thinking it was still the first one split into two smaller sessions. I am excited to continue improving with this DVD so that I can move on to slightly more advanced ones.
4 Stars Easy to do, but not as challenging as I thought
I must be flexible, because I found the exercises very easy to do. The format is easy to follow, and they explain the stretches very well. I’ve never done yoga before, and wanted to increase my flexablility but found these too easy. Next time I’ll try the next step up. All in all, this was a great dvd.
4 Stars Quick, simple stretches
Like many others, I liked the first 20 minute segment better than the second. Though the second is very good, I wish it were a smoother transition from the first….perhaps more complicated stretches; stretching and oppositional points poses seems like a funny combination. However, if you take each for what it is, they are both really nice. I do the first 20 minute segment very often. I have found that it is easy enough that my kids will often join in and it becomes a fun family activity.
2 Stars Umm…
This doesn’t really do anything for me…
Maybe if you haven’t ever worked out before it may be a good beginning for you to start.
